Beams of light out both ends of this chart I think Nurse may have "saved" a goal late in the game. It's right after the HUGE save that Pickard made on Clarke with about 3:30 left in the game. If you break down the play frame by frame, after Pickard makes the save, you can see the puck approaching the goalline close to the centre of the net. Suddenly Nurse dives over top and the next time you can clearly see the puck it's back over near Clarke going back out the other way off of Nurse's hand. I can't see anything that would've made the puck go back in the other direction before Nurse swats it away except for Nurse's hand itself. And, if you follow Nurse's hand, it clearly goes in the net while it's moving from the center to where you see the puck again over by Clarke. I wouldn't say it's conclusive, but... we may have gotten a break on that one. Yeah that was crazy. Nurse definitely not afraid to go all in on plays like that. Also Klingberg saved a goal when the ref was holding off calling the play with Pickard totally ran over and laying flat on the ice with his glove off. That one would have burned if it went in. Wonder if we would have got it called off at least for coincidental contact. Somehow feeling doubtful.

Nurse definitely got away with one there. Clarke was incensed, but the refs had put the whistle away by that point.

I thought covering the puck in the crease is a penalty shot too so was surprised Klingberg was able to get away with that...although it's incredible that Edmundson didn't get a goalie interference call ahead of that. There's no chance it counts if the Kings score there given that hit, and it's comical that they didn't call it, given the penalty on Arvidsson earlier in the game.

It was funny, someone I know had a parley on Bouchard scoring a point and in the group chat towards the end of the second, someone said "he'll probably get one on the Oilers next powerplay" and I just knew that we were never going to get another powerplay unless that game went to overtime, no matter what the Kings did. Including a full-on tackle of the goalie apparently...
